more minutes. we're gonna open the freeway up and have our crews cleaning up the spill on the shoulder, on the dirt there. but we'll have all lanes open. >> reporter: what happened in this accident? >> well, right now, what we think happened is maybe -- well, actually, the big rig driver said he got cut off. we can't confirm that at this point. we're looking for any witnesses that may have witnessed this collision. we just know that he lost control of the big rig and -- he lost control and hit the side of the dirt road and ended up in the number 3 lane. >> reporter: he crashed into 40 feet of guardrail and a pole. it's lucky nobody else was injured, no other vehicles involved? >> right. no other vehicles involved. the driver had minor scapes to his -- scrapes to his face. >> reporter: how bad is the backup? >> i'm not sure how bad the backup is. but i think it was -- when i

was on my way up here, it was backed up to great america parkway. >> reporter: thank you, officer. right now, the two lanes of 101 are open. but they plan on just momentarily in minutes open up all lanes of traffic. we're still the backup is still for miles. to get more on that, we go to sal. sal, what are you thinking? >> you might want to use an alternate route if you are driving on 101. the 280 commute, i'm outlining it here. it's not that bad. but 101 is backed up nearly to the san jose airport because of the closure. as janine said, they are about to open the lanes in a few minutes. the traffic will be getting better quickly. i still think it will be a while for this to unwind. use 280. if you are just going a short distance, use side roads.

back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. we have updates on a deadly fire in sunnyvale at the plaza del ray. tara moriarty is there now with the newest information. >> reporter: that's right. someone from the public safety department is due out here to let us know exactly what happened here last night. you can see damage to this blue house here. you can see that most of the damage is actually contained to that one window. we've been sort of able to walk around the house a little bit and see that there really is no other damage accept to the back of the home here and up through the roof. the hot water heater is exposed. this scene is roped off with crime scene tape. an investigation of some sort is underway. we understand that a coroner's van took off just before 6:00 this morning. so a possible fatal fire here. we have spoken to some neighbors. they are not sure who lives in the home. we're in a mobile home/modular

park. it's off north fair oaks and highway 101. we don't know who was in the home at the time the flames broke out. we don't know what caused this fire. but we know it happened around 11:30 and there's been quite a police presence. they've been coming and going. i can see three squad cars right now. there are officers stationed all through this area. they blocked off this street as well as around the corner. so no one can get through. so as soon as we hear more information about who was the victim in this case, we will certainly pass that along to you. live from sunnyvale, i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. it is 7:05. also early this morning, firefighters raced to a fire at a senior facility in oakland. this is the second fire at this location in the last 111 days. the -- 11 days. the fire chief says the

facility caught fire. the facility sprinkler systems contained the fire to the cart. the laundry room forced evacuations on january 20th. overnight a bomb scare disrupted train service. he spotted a suspicious box with wires sticking out of it. san francisco police then cordoned off the caltrain station at 4th and king streets as a precaution. the bomb squad inspected the item and determined that it was harmless. no one was hurt. the train was scheduled to head back out. the passengers waiting to board were bussed to another station for a new outbound train. 7:06. let's go right back to sal. we have that mess in the south bay because of the big rig crash but you are watching everywhere else as well. >> that's right. we're gonna start at northbound 101 at fair oaks. the chp told janine they are just about to open the lanes here on the 101 but the backup is almost to the san jose

airport. i would suggest 280 for a short route. again, good news, they are just about to reopen it. we've been on this story since we went on the air at 4:30. let's take a look at some live pictures. i want to show you 880 here in oakland. that looks pretty good driving past the coliseum. getting to downtown oakland. to the bay bridge toll plaza, you will see traffic busy. but not all that bad. it's about a 20-minute delay. it was ten. there are no major problems on the bridge that we know of. traffic looks good once you make it on that span. here's steve. a very good morning. a little bit of patchy fog. 30s and 40s. inland temperatures, pretty close on the lows, although san francisco seems to be running low everywhere else. high pressure still large and in charge. deflecting to the north saying you are not going anywhere. we're quiet on -- we'll end

january with a very dry month. in fact, so dry in san francisco, it goes down in the books as the third driest ever. their records back pretty far. 49/100ths fell. and .25 as the record for 1920. this doesn't mean we won't have rain coming up or anything like like that -- like that. san jose is 101% of normal. san francisco, 102% and santa rosa, 112%. it's what happens between now and the next few months. once you get to april 15th, things start to turn off. i think we will get some rain in about a week from today. warmer weather is the result of this high pressure. i think this month goes down as being cold. it's been darned cold. 40s for some. if the breeze picks up, you are

in the 40s. santa rosa is 42. other locations, 36, 35. 40 san jose, 35 concord. high pressure, though, is here. it says i don't think anything's gonna happen. there's a little bit of an offshore breeze. really not much. but sunny and warm. but there's enough of component to give a bump. it will be another nice afternoon. sunny and warm. we had a couple of 70s. clearlake 70. 63 concord. berkeley, 66. brentwood, only 63. 70 milpitas. santa cruz, 68. 50s on the coast. 60s in the city and also san mateo, but a little warmer in palo alto. looks good. cooler. but a dry pattern into the weekend. tori? >> thank you, steve. developing news from alabama. a young boy remains captive in an underground bunker days after being kidnapped by a

shunning our friends. >> reporter: another thing being discussed with a global movement to eliminate nuclear weapons. hagel has written about it and support it but those against him say the u.s. would be vulnerable and that other countries would find a way to hide their nuclear weapons and use them. this hearing continues. more when i see you next. kyla campbell, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. the senate is expected to approve legislation today allowing the treasury department to keep borrowing money for four more months. the house passed a bill that extends the debt ceiling through may 18th. the legislation also requires both the house and the san jose to approve budgets by april 15th or face the loss of their paychecks. the government of zimbabwe says it has own $217 left in the national treasury. this is after paying public

[ male announcer ] now u-verse high speed internet has more speed options, reliability and ways to connect. rethink possible.

[bleep] look at this. i'm not making this up.

this is in ohio. an angry woman kicked out the police car window. police say an officer was just about to take her out of the car when she became violent. look at her kicking the window there. some of the shattered glass actually hit that police officer. you see him shaking off it. but he wasn't hurt. here's the woman. she was allegedly picked up for allegedly punching her mother. now she faces mud charges including assaulting a police officer and vandalism. we want to check in with sal, see what's happening on the roads. hopefully things are getting beter. >> a little better. 280 is slower than it usually is. some people are using that instead of 101. they've opened the lanes at northbound 101. the crash was right there where 101 -- near 237 at fair oaks.

the lanes are open but traffic is still recovering in this area. the traffic is -- i would still say use 280 as your alternate. the traffic time is ramping up. it was 10, 15, 20. now about 25 minutes before you make it onto the bridge itself. let's go to steve. >> thank you, sal. a little bit of patchy fog. once it burns off, it will be good to go. temperatures starting off in the 30s. that includes part of the coast. san francisco, 48. everyone else is in the low 40s or low 30s. san jose, 40 but not far away. a little low spinning off the coast. that go gives an offshore push. sunny to mostly sunny except for a few high clouds. temperatures back in the 60s. will this hold in the weekend? we'll have that forecast in about ten minutes, tori and dave. >> thank you, steve. 7:25. a major traffic story. we've been talking about this

since 4:30. it's this -- traffic in sunnyvale has -- has been messed up. >> reporter: auto thefts are on the rise across alameda county, especially here in pleasonton. we've been out here talking to people about things they know they shouldn't do. >> reporter: controversial comments about gays in the locker room. we're live in new orleans where 49er chris culliver just apologized. we'll have that story coming up as "mornings on 2" continues.

big rig crash complicating the morning commute on 101 in sunnyvale. janine de la vega is on the scene with an update and the cleanup. how is it going now, janine? >> reporter: well, all northbound lanes of highway 101 are now open. we're just south of fair oaks. these lanes just opened up in the last 25 minutes. you can see that traffic is flowing pretty good. i'm told the backup lasts almost until the san jose airport. now, this happened just before 3:00 a.m. the driver of this big rig drifted off the shoulder and crashed into about 40 feet of guardrail and a light pole. in the process, the right side of his fuel tank was punctured and spilled 20 to 30 gallons of fuel on the highway and the shoulder.

the chp had set up some roadblocks to closes off the lanes leading up to the fair oaks exit. the driver had minor cuts to his face. but he said he's glad no other vehicles were involved. >> i make a move to the right. so quick, like that. i lost my control over there, the shoulder there on the side. that's what happened. i look. very bad. >> reporter: the driver told me that in his 30 years of driving a big rig, he's never had an accident happen. officers tested him for dui. em passed. they don't believe he -- he passed. they don't believe he was under the influence. this has caused a huge backup on 101. this happened at 3:00 this morning. at one point, only one of the 101 lanes was open until the chp waited for caltrans to bring in work crews to clear all of the fuel into containers. back out here live, you can see

this is the tow truck that is going to haul the big rig away that was involved in the accident. there are still some work crews caltrans crews on the side shoulder here. there are some looky-loos who are sort of slowing do up to look at that. again, there's still a lot of wood on the side of the freeway. but hopefully, the backup that is further down on 101 will clear up. but again traffic here is flowing, at least in sunnyvale pretty good. we're hoping that the backup clears, too. reporting live from in sunnyvale, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. 7:31. a member of the 49ers' defense was on the defensive this morning. an hour ago, ktvu was the only station that broadcast live cornerback chris culliver apologizing for some of his anti-gay comments. ken wayne is live from the team

hotel, the new orleans marriott. >> reporter: good morning, from the team hotel, marriott. we just wrapped up a press briefing with the players and coaching staff. you can see behind me people are starting to clear out after they've been sitting down with players at those individual tables. the man at the center of the attention this morning, chris culliver, the 49ers' cornerback who made some controversial remarks the other day saying that fays essentially are not welcomed in -- gays essentially are not welcomed in an nfl locker room. he said he would play with them on the field if they stayed in the closet. so obviously that created some shock waves around the nfl and in the media world. this is a big story outside of the super bowl experience that's going on in new orleans. we want to play you his apology that he just made. but before that, we'll hear his radio marks and what he said a few minutes ago. >> they don't got no gay people

on the team. they have to get out of here if they do. can't be with the sweet stuff. i'm sorry i made that comment, that i hurt anyone or made any comment that affected them, the organization, the nfl or anything like that. i'm not trying to approach any guys or -- i don't want that to be a distraction on the team for an incident like this that's caused us not good approval. >> reporter: after hearing from culliver, other players were spread around the room. i was able to approach a few players including kaepernick, michael crabtree to ask their reaction about their statements in the locker room. every player i talked to distanced themselves from the comments and said whatever a person does in their private life is up to them and they all

indicated they would have no problem with a gay player in the locker room. so the 49ers are trying to do a little damage control here and move on and start to focus on the big issue at hand which is playing in the super bowl and play the baltimore ravens. we'll have more comments from kaepernick and the other players throughout the day on kut. live in new orleans, ken wayne, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, ken. stay tuned for continuing coverage of the super bowl. we have live reports in every newscast leading up to the big game. on sunday need, after the game, switch needly to channel 2 with fans in the bay area and the big easy. the ex-boyfriend of former 49er and raider kwame harris is speaking out about the violent incident that landed harris in jail. the "examiner" reports that demetrius geare said he's suing harris for $20,000 to $30,000

things terry peterman has a great alarm and auto theft system. if we looked in the back seat -- >> in the front seat you would see my tanning bag and my purse because i left that in there. >> reporter: see, that's probably not -- >> yeah. >> reporter: if they don't have bad habits, chances are their other half does. >> he always leaves his -- >> keys, wallet, phone on the seat. >> reporter: do you get mad at him every time? >> yes. >> i sometimes leave my purse. yes. >> reporter: on your front seat? >> yes. >> when you go in? >> yeah. nothing has happened. >> reporter: and then there are the big no-noes like leaving your car unlocked and running. we found ed hour's plan unlocked and running and ready to go when he was running in. do you do that a lot?

>> yes. i figure i'm gonna be warm. i come from rougher neighborhoods. >> reporter: you are not worried about it? >> not here. >> reporter: well, you should also be maybe a little nervous if you drive a honda afford because that tops december's list of the most stolen car in alameda county. now, we did just talk to a woman who said she's had her car stolen from her before years ago. we'll tell you how it has changed how she does things coming up on "mornings on 2." claudine wong, ktvu channel 2 news. all right. 7:37. well, the chp will keep patrolling streets of oakland for at least the next 30 days. we still don't know if the chp will be paid, though. the chp will be helping oakland patrol free of charge but that deal expires today. the they -- they are trying to work out a new method of

payment. let's check in with sal. let's see where the chopper is flying. >> approaching the san mateo bridge, foster city side. we've been looking at it. newschopper2 coming up on it. you can see traffic is moving along well. when up get to the bridge, it's a little crowded, you can see the decline of the bridge coming down to foster city. but if this is your commute, i think you will like it. eastbound traffic, this is a noncommute direction. that looks well. also let's go to the maps. we had an earlier problem on northbound 101 at fair oaks. that crash is on the shoulder. there's some debris on the shoulder but the lanes are open. traffic, however, is back up all the way down to 280. it's a bad backup. 280 is the alternate. it's getting crowded into cupertino. bay bridge is backed up, about 25 minutes, 30 minutes. once you make it on the span, it looks good but you will be waiting for a while before you do that. let's go to steve. thank you, sal.
